You can customize browser-internal shortcuts with a script in your profile dir.
For example this is my script

‹user profile›/chrome/removeshortcuts.uc.js

var ids = `

viewBookmarksSidebarKb
key_quitApplication
openFileKb
key_savePage
printKb
goBackKb2
goForwardKb2
addBookmarkAsKb
bookmarkAllTabsKb
manBookmarkKb
viewBookmarksToolbarKb

`.replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim().split(' ');


ids.forEach( id=>{
    var key = document.getElementById(id);
    if (key) key.remove();
});


⁤
var originalKey = document.getElementById("key_screenshot");
if (originalKey) {
    // Clone the original key
    var newKey = originalKey.cloneNode(true);

    // Set the new id and shortcut for the new key
    newKey.setAttribute("id", newKey.id+"_redjard_alt");
    if (newKey.hasAttribute('data-l10n-id'))
        newKey.setAttribute("data-l10n-id", newKey.getAttribute('data-l10n-id')+"_redjard_alt");
    newKey.setAttribute("key", "S");
    newKey.setAttribute("modifiers", "accel");

    // Add the new key to the parent of the original key
    originalKey.parentNode.appendChild(newKey);
}

The script removes the shortcuts listed in the beginning and adds an alternate shortcut for screenshots to ctrl+s.
You can see all internashortcuts by opening a browser console and querying the shortcut elements (using regular javascript)

    To complete this, probably with ff117 I had to fix the way I load my userchrome files, reminding me I should probably put them here too:

    /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.cfg

    // firefox.cfg file needs to start with a comment line
    // it is included by having the following two lines in defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:
    // pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
    // pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
    // pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    
    var Services = globalThis.Services;
    Services.obs.addObserver((aSubject, _aTopic, _aData)=>{
      var chromeWindow = aSubject;
      chromeWindow.setTimeout(()=>{
        try {
          if (chromeWindow.userChromeJsMod) return;
          chromeWindow.userChromeJsMod = true;
          var chromeFiles = chromeWindow.FileUtils.getDir("UChrm", []).directoryEntries;
          var sss = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/content/style-sheet-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIStyleSheetService);
          while (chromeFiles.hasMoreElements()) {
            var file = chromeFiles.getNext().QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
            var fileURI = Services.io.newFileURI(file);
            if (!file.isFile()) continue;
            
            if (/(^userChrome|\.uc)\.js$/i.test(file.leafName)) {
              // load userChrome.js and *.uc.js (case insensitive) as js file
              Services.scriptloader.loadSubScriptWithOptions(fileURI.spec, {

            } else if (/\.as\.css$/i.test(file.leafName)) {
              // load *.as.css (case insensitive) as css file (in browser scope)

                sss.loadAndRegisterSheet(fileURI, sss.USER_SHEET);
              }
            }
          }
        } catch (e) {
          Components.utils.reportError(e); // [check] Show Content Messages
        }
      }, 10);  // end of timeout
    }, "browser-delayed-startup-finished", false);
